You know what really pisses me off? When my wife sends an urgent text asking me to bring the washing in as it's about to rain. Only to moan at me for not immediately seeing the message.

If you deliberately don't capitalise the text you write, I'm probably not going to read it.
It's not edgy. It makes you look like a Muppet.
Finished watching The Pitt last night. Probably one of the best TV series I've ever seen. Superb.
Why TF does #Ubuntu not automatically switch to dark mode when it's night time? Like, it's 2025 FFS.
When did people start substituting putting the phone to their ear in favour of being on loudspeaker in public?
Fucking idiots.
Flying to Chicago (via Dublin) at 8am tomorrow morning. That means I'll be up at 04:30. On a Sunday. Brilliant.
When I used an #iPhone Siri was good enough for my use case - set a timer, what's 65f in c, remind me to do xyz at 10am on Monday.
On the other hand, #Gemini is absolute dog shit. Reminders don't work properly, timers are hit and miss, and answers to simple questions are ridiculously verbose. It's just shite. 💩
The New Recruit (Liam Scott 01)
The first book in Andy McNab's Liam Scott series about a teenager who signs up for the British Army and deploys to Afghanistan.
